I promised myself I wouldn't cry, and then this happened

Yeah heh, you could see it at the end there after they hugged.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Out of those I wanted to win:

Braixen (Pokken) - Check

Hungrybox (Melee) - Check

Fuudo's R.Mika (Street Fighter V) - Ded

Marlinpoo~ (Guilty Gear) - Ded

2 out of 4? I'll take it!

 

[Dahbomb]

Congrats to Infiltration, well deserved win.

 

[Darkman M]

Start with a trailer for Juri, move into a trailer for the modes people have been asking for and some stuff people didn't even know was coming, end with some teasers for the next season...

Bam!

Everyone is talking about SFV again. The hype is real.

I think having a great showing on ESPN2 did just that. I would have loved for some crazy announcement though, but oh well.

If that's not a SportsCenter top play I don't know what is.

 

[Nabs]

2:30 am here
time to go

 

[Romars202129]

No doubt. That was the best I saw this weekend.

Momochi vs Arturo close second.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Soo the footage told me that LI Joe won EVO what isnt that wrong lol

no, LI Joe definitely won EVO. Thats what I'll remember

 

[SmackAttack]

Excellent Top 8 for SFV and a really, really great EVO all around.

 

[skLaFarebear]

That son of a bitch is cheating on us and crying for other people.

How are we missing this ;_;

 

[ShinySylvee]

Awesome showing from ESPN. Top notch production values despite what was happening through the main stage twitch streams all day long. I really hope they can expand their EVO coverage to feature more games next year, although that might be difficult given that two of the top games are too gory or weird for normal audiences, one is probably hard to get rights to show on TV, and one is an over 15 year old party game. That being said the top 8 of all the events I watched were really good this year so hopefully they can make it happen. SF5 is good and all but EVO is so much more then just that and I hope they can showcase more next year.

[doemaaan]

So much fun 😭.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Damn, I really wanted Fuudo to win it. His Mika is so good...... But those reactions and Infil downloading him was crazy. Kind of felt it was a bit arrogant of him to say that but ughhh looks like he won yet again. I won't lie but this guy isn't human. Nobody can pull those reactions... It's like a fucking cpu.

 

[enanogrande]

Capcom Cup is in December, where there's a LOT more competition for airtime on Sunday nights (Basketball and Football especially), so unfortunately I don't think ESPN will pick it up. Hopefully they get Evo again next year, the broadcast was leaps and bounds above the twitch stream (especially this year, with all the audio problems...)

 

[MThanded]

MTV2

Hosted by Ray J.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Any after streams?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Need Capcom Tour Finals on ESPN now

 

[PBalfredo]

So what's the final breakdown of wins by country of origin?

 

[Eternal Flame]

Seems like because of ESPN we didn't to see top 8 medals thats kinda lame to be honest, but it showing on espn can only be seen as a positive. I was rooting for Mika, and Fuudo, but I like seeing Infil win so its all good.

 

[Goodstyle]

Every time Fuudo put Infiltration in knockdown and he had to guess.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Guessing this has been posted but damn front page of ESPN.

motherfucker, need periscope action

 

[WarRock]

No crying and no Canon Awards, damn eSports! At least I was set free.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Always need to ask this question:
Any double KO's during this weekend?

 

[howdyjacker]

Despite any contrary talk, infiltration is hype incarnate.

Dude brings it every time and makes you as the streamer glad you were a part of it.

Don't know how he keeps doing it but I hope it never stops. Reminds me of Jordans glory days. You just know you were watching something special.

Thanks infiltration!!




Anyways, LIjoe matches were awesome. Dude is hella cool and I sincerely hope he comes back harder next year.

 

[RedEther]

Until next time guys

 

[jbug617]

Match of Evo? I say Daigo/Tokido Ryu mirror. Really showed how thoroughly Street Fighter SFV is.

for pure hype. Art vs Momochi

 

[Pompadour]

Always need to ask this question:
Any double KO's during this weekend?

Yes, PR Balrog won a match with one.

 

[Altazor]

Great EVO, guys. I'm waiting for the next one already :')

It's been an honor, gentlemen. We are all free now!

 

[MThanded]

Always need to ask this question:

[Seven Force]

PR Balrog Vs. Bonchan

Amazing.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Art vs Momochi was insane. Was freaking out during work.

 

[Einchy]

Yeah, agreed.

That one had my heart racing like no other SF match has ever before.

 

[salty_Josh]

And now for Evo Japan stream to start

 

[M_A_C]

Did Aris commentate MKX? Shit, sad I missed it then.

[Nabs]

Download Complete is now trending in the US. Amazing.

 

[fr0st]

[Reizo Ryuu]

[LiK]

Aris MKX commentary was amazing.

 

[Veldin]

most beautiful thing i've seen in my life

 

[Alucrid]

yo just think about it. spooky streaming from mandalay bay now. shit's fucking wild

 

[nikos]

Now that it's all over...

How happy is everyone that the ESPN broadcast was pretty much perfect? It's fucking great. I thought they were going to end up fucking something up for some reason. Sigh of relief.

Other than the audio mixing being pretty bad, it was a great broadcast. Went back to twitch a couple of times and noped right out of it. I'd love to see future majors on ESPN.

Thank you Liu Kang!
